PHILIP RANDALL

ORIGIN: Unknown
MIGRATION: 1633
FIRST RESIDENCE: Dorchester
REMOVES: Windsor 1636

OCCUPATION: Smith. His inventory included “all his smith’s tools for his trade” valued at 6 pounds….

In his will, dated 8 Mar 166[1]2, Philip Randall of Windsor “being aged & full of days” bequeathed all to “my wife” durein her life, then to “my son Abram,” he to pay following legacies: “Isack Phellps my grandchild” 50s.; “Abrahm Phellps” 5 pounds; “Joseph Phellps” 50s. Also Joseph at age 21 to have “a lot of my son Abraham which is over the Great River next above Mr. Davison’s land, by virtue of a piece of land of mine which I gave my son in my lot over the Great River which he hath exchanged with Goodman Bissell” [Hartford…
The inventory of the estate of Philip Randall, taken 28 May 1662 by William Gaylord and Humphrey Pinney, totaled 113 pounds, of which 72 pounds was real estate: “house and orchard and so much of his ancient homelot as now pertains to it with four acres of meadow,” 60 pounds; and “land on the east side of the Great River,” 12 pounds…
(Gaylords and Humphrey Pinney are related.)

BIRTH: By about 1590 based on estimated date of marriage.
DEATH: Windsor 6 May 1662…
MARRIAGE: By about 1615 ___ ___; “old widow Randall” died at Windsor 24 August 1665, aged 87 (undoubtedly an exaggeration) … (A “Phillippe Randole” married 10 April 1608 at Allington, Dorset, Joan Fush [Dorset Marriages…]; this seems too early for the immigrant.)
CHILDREN:
i ABRAHAM, b.say 1615; m. (1) Windsor 8 December 1640 Mary Ware…; m. (2) Windsor 27 October 1681 Elizabeth (____) Kirby… (Some sources have made Abraham’s first wife a widow Ware, with maiden surname Phelps; this is based on a misinterpretation of Abraham’s will, in which he makes a bequest to my cousin Abraham Phelps …; this was not the son of his first wife’s brother, but the son of his sister Philura.)
ii PHILURA, b. say 1617; m. by 1638 George Phelps (birth of first recorded child…
iii PHILIP, b. say 1619 (his father called “the elder” in 1640); bur. Windsor 26 September 1648 …; apparently unmarried.

COMMENTS: Stiles read the death of 1662 for a Philura rather than Philip, and assumed that the immigrant was the Philip who died in 1648… Stiles had not seen the will, which relieves his confusion on this point.
